Yosemite 2022

[Drunk Monk]

This morning, I have this terrible feeling I will not be backpacking. Dammit.

I’m on the fence. I’m far from on top of my malady. If I go, it’ll be physically painful to try to keep up with young Tara and Alex, as well as Stacy who has been training diligently. I had planned to train this month too but at this point I don’t even know if I can carry my backpack to the dog park without pain. If I bail, it’ll be emotionally and psychologically painful because I’ve been looking forward to this time with my family all year, as well as spending time with you, Greg. 

Stacy suggested I come up for a day hike and then stay at Lynch lair because I need a vacation badly. I don’t know. I don’t really have the time off for this with my new job. We’ll see…
